Teens Say the Reason They're Loud on the Subway Is They're Having Fun (Ever Heard of FUN, Grown Ups?)

WNYC News | May 30, 2019

"Loud." "Obnoxious." "The #1 biggest offender of blocking doors."

These are just a few ways that adults described teenagers on public transit, in their responses to the We the Commuters survey we shared a while back. So WNYC decided to ask middle and high school students: What do you want adults to understand about how you think about commuting? Listen above to hear their responses.

We the Commuters is a weekly newsletter about transit and commuting from WNYC and Gothamist. Sign up for the essential commuters' coverage delivered to your inbox every Thursday.
